LAS VEGAS (October 2024) – This November, The Underground speakeasy and distillery at The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, announces drink specials and an array of live music to commemorate the inaugural Neon City Festival and this year’s Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. The full roster of events and promotions follows.
Neon Nights Cocktail
Promotional Dates: Friday, Nov. 22-Sunday, Nov. 24
Time: 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. Friday through Sunday.
Location: The Underground Speakeasy
Cost: $15
Description: Featuring a blend of pineapple, juniper, elderflower, cherry, citrus and rum, the Neon Nights cocktail captures the brilliant hues and energy that define Las Vegas and celebrates the inaugural Neon City Festival. Las Vegas’ Fremont Street, just steps from The Mob Museum, earned itself the moniker of “Glitter Gulch” in the mid-20th century as neon signs started to illuminate the once wild west-like drag. After gaining popularity in Paris, neon signage found its footing in the U.S. just as Prohibition began in the early 1920s. Out west, neon took hold in Las Vegas, adorning Fremont Street and Las Vegas Boulevard as the casino industry boomed and the Mob moved in.

ABOUT THE UNDERGROUND
The Underground is an immersive Prohibition history exhibition featuring a speakeasy, distillery and private VIP room in the basement of The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement. Artifacts from the 1920s and 1930s tell the intriguing story of the Prohibition era, which not only saw a proliferation of bootlegged booze and the meteoric growth of organized crime outfits but also had a profound, lasting impact on society, specifically making way for modern cocktail culture. A seasonal cocktail menu gives guests the opportunity to try contemporary takes on classic Prohibition-era cocktails. The menu and atmosphere have landed the speakeasy on several “best cocktail bars in Las Vegas” lists. Distillery tours allow participants to learn about Prohibition and its impact on a variety of spirits and drinking habits while tasting a few of the Museum’s moonshines. The distilling program has received accolades, including Best Moonshine at the 2020 International Whiskey Competition. Complimentary entrance to The Underground is granted at the secret side door to visitors who know the password, which is published daily on Instagram Stories @MobMuseum_Underground.
